I am the carpenter king

After listening to Emperor Tianqi's words, Xu Guangqi nodded slowly. It is indeed a good idea to open a mansion in Shanghai.Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, it is not that no one has tried to invest in maritime trade, but the interference of those smuggling groups is very difficult to succeed.It is indeed much easier to start from a place where there is no foundation.If you set an example for other places, it will be the general trend. When the general trend follows, the opposing voices will directly collapse.

"Your Majesty, the Kaifu matter is important, and we still need a long-term plan." Now that Xu Guangqi has figured it out, he will naturally not object.Xu Guangqi is naturally very clear about the benefits of opening the sea.

"Of course, I won't act in a hurry! Before the opening of the Fu, there are still many things to prepare." Emperor Tianqi nodded slowly, and said with a smile on his face: "Xu Aiqing, do you think the presiding over the opening of the Fu , which minister in the DPRK is suitable?"

Xu Guangqi was not surprised by this question at all. For such a big event, Emperor Tianqi would naturally choose candidates carefully.However, in Xu Guangqi's view, there is really no suitable candidate in the court.After much deliberation, Xu Guangqi suddenly felt that he was the most suitable.Seeing Emperor Tianqi's smile and recalling what Emperor Tianqi said just now, Xu Guangqi naturally understood.

"Your Majesty, the matter of opening the sea is of great importance, and it is a major event that will last forever. I was born in Shanghai, and I am very familiar with overseas affairs. In addition, I also have some friends from foreigners. I will do my part!" Xu Guangqi naturally understood, naturally Without pretending to be confused, he said loudly.

Smiling and nodding, Emperor Tianqi said with satisfaction: "Ai Qing understands my intentions well, this matter must belong to Ai Qing."

Xu Guangqi has been an official abroad for many years, but the Xu family is still well-established in Shanghai.Ever since Xu Guangqi became a cabinet scholar, the Xu family has been unique for a while, and it can be said that it has a very status in Shanghai.What's more, among the officials of the Shanghai faction, Xu Guangqi has the highest official position.Prestige is naturally not low.

After clarifying the matter, Emperor Tianqi told Xu Guangqi some things, and then left the firearms factory.

Since leaving the firearms factory, Emperor Tianqi has never been out of the palace, preparing for the New Year in the palace.At the end of the year, although there are many things.But in Daming, everything is stable.

The national treasury was struggling to make ends meet again, and Emperor Apocalypse handed over the general expenses and other expenses to the national treasury.There is no money in the treasury, and the Emperor Apocalypse will allocate money from the inner treasury, and there will be no direct intervention from the inner treasury.

In December, the capital was already freezing cold, and the ground was covered with heavy snow.At the gate of the city of Beijing, a group of soldiers arrived on horseback. In front of these people, a young man sat on a horse.Wearing mandarin duck battle armor looks heroic and extraordinary.Unlike the rest of the generals, this man's skin is maroon.

"General, the city gate is about to be closed, we still go straight into the city!" A lieutenant general rode up to the front and said respectfully to the general.

This person is none other than Xiong Wencan who was just transferred back to Beijing by Emperor Tianqi!After a period of tempering in Liaodong, Xiong Wencan calmed down a lot, and his eyes became restrained.But at this moment, there was a trace of worry on Xiong Wencan's forehead.As the governor of Liaodong, I have done a good job in Liaodong.Now Emperor Tianqi summoned himself back with an imperial decree.

Having experienced so many things before, Xiong Wencan even wondered if he had offended someone again.But now that Xiong Wencan is a member of Sun Chengzong's faction, he has made things much less difficult. This year and a half has been his happiest time.Liaodong soldiers and horses are getting stronger day by day, and I am full of joy.

Glancing at Lu Xiangsheng who was talking, Xiong Wencan nodded slowly.With the emperor's younger brother accompanying me to Beijing, I still have some confidence in my heart.The two of them didn't say anything, they rode straight into the capital.

"Fei Bai, shall we go directly to the palace to meet the emperor, or to Mr. Sun's residence?" Xiong Tingbi hesitated for a moment.Or ask Lu Xiangsheng.

Helplessly glanced at Xiong Tingbi, Lu Xiangsheng was still a little helpless, this Lord Xiong still doesn't know how to behave.But he has already gotten used to it, thought for a while, and said: "Master Xiong, the emperor hastened us to go to Beijing. There must be something important, so we must go to the palace to deliver the order. If you don't want to go to the palace, you should go to Mr. Sun's mansion first." , I am afraid that there is a suspicion of forming a party for personal gain!"

Xiong Tingbi naturally understood this truth, but he was still a little unwilling. He didn't know what Emperor Tianqi wanted to do when he came back, so he wanted to inquire about news from Sun Chengzong.But since Lu Xiangsheng said so, Xiong Tingbi could only nod his head.

Even if the two of them arrived at the Sun Mansion, they probably wouldn't be able to see Sun Chengzong, who was in the palace at this time.Beside Sun Chengzong, there is another person. This person is the original Sichuan chief envoy and the current Sichuan governor Zhu Xieyuan.

The last time She Chongming and An Bangyan rebelled, Zhu Xieyuan showed extraordinary talents, and Emperor Tianqi naturally would not let him get moldy in Sichuan.Although an imperial decree had been issued to announce his entry to Beijing, he had just arrived today.

"Zhu Aiqing, has the journey gone smoothly?" Emperor Tianqi looked at Zhu Xieyuan and asked with a smile.This Zhu Xieyuan was also a capable man, and he was also very famous in the late Ming Dynasty.In history, Zhu Xieyuan single-handedly assessed the rebellion of She Chongming and An Bangyan.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. Thanks to your Majesty's blessings, everything is going well." Zhu Xieyuan was different from Xiong Tingbi, he knew that Emperor Tianqi must have appointed him, and he must have used him otherwise.If you want to know where you are in Sichuan, is there any place worse than that?

Emperor Tianqi didn't say anything before he came, Wang Chengen had already walked in from the outside, saluted Emperor Tianqi respectfully, and said, "Your Majesty Qizuo, Liaodong Supervisor Xiong Tingbi and Deputy General Lu Xiangsheng are outside asking to see you!"

Upon hearing the news, Emperor Tianqi suddenly laughed, and said: "What a coincidence, I'm still waiting for news, but I didn't expect these two people to come in! Let them in, since they're here, it's time to tell the story."

When Wang Chengen went out, Emperor Tianqi looked at Chen Hong who was on the side, and said with a smile: "Let the imperial dining room prepare meals, and I will eat and chat with a few lovers."

Not long after, Xiong Tingbi and Lu Xiangsheng walked in under the leadership of Wang Chengen.Although the meals in the imperial dining room were not ready yet, the tables were already set.

After sitting according to the seat, Emperor Tianqi smiled and said to Xiong Tingbi: "Xiong Aiqing, is everything going well in Liaodong?"

"Back to the emperor, Liaodong has nothing to do right now. The soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, and the food and grass are sufficient. Now we are waiting for the emperor's order. As soon as the emperor's order comes, the minister will lead people to wipe out and build slaves." This is Xiong Tingbi's ideal. Inseparable.

Smiling and waving his hands, Emperor Tianqi said happily: "Okay, Aiqing is courageous and courageous to take on things, that's right. I believe this day will not be too far away, and there will definitely be a place for Aiqing to use her skills."

The banquet that followed was very lively, Emperor Tianqi didn't put on airs at all, he asked about the affairs of Liaodong and Sichuan, and talked about it lively.Xiong Tingbi, who originally liked drinking the most, didn't drink too much because he was in a state of turmoil, let alone the others.

After the banquet, Emperor Tianqi glanced at Sun Chengzong and said with a smile: "Sir, has the Military Aircraft Department already drawn up the decree?"

"Going back to the emperor, I have already prepared it, and have already sent it to the Supervisor of Ceremonies for approval!" Sun Chengzong said with a smile, having been prepared for a long time.

"Chen Hong, proclaim the decree!" Emperor Tianqi glanced at Chen Hong who was holding the imperial decree, nodded in satisfaction, and ordered.

Chen Hong didn't dare to be negligent, unfolded the imperial decree, and read loudly: "The right servant of the Ministry of War, General Longhu, and Liaodong Governor Xiong Tingbi accept the decree!"

"Minister Xiong Tingbi accepts the decree, long live my emperor!" Unexpectedly, he was the first one, Xiong Tingbi didn't dare to neglect at all, and quickly knelt down on the ground, waiting for the imperial decree to be read.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said: Dragon and Tiger General Xiong Tingbi, guarding Liaodong, has worked hard and made great achievements, and I am very comforted. Rewards and punishments are too great, and Mingjun's deeds, I will not hesitate to reward him. Enter Xiong Tingbi as the left servant of the Ministry of War, General Hussars, and the Five Armies The governor of the governor's mansion, in charge of the capital's operations! This is yours!" After reading it, Chen Hong put together the imperial edict and handed it to Xiong Tingbi.

Xiong Tingbi was very puzzled in his heart, he was promoted, that's for sure.It's just that he didn't expect Emperor Tianqi to let him come back to take charge of the Beijing camp. This was really unexpected.Not daring to delay the slightest, he quickly knelt down on the ground and said respectfully: "My minister Xiong Tingbi accepts the order, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

When Xiong Tingbi retreated to the side, Chen Hong picked up another memorial and said, "Youjian Capital Censor, Doctor Zishan, Governor of Sichuan Zhu Xieyuan received the order!"

"My minister Zhu Xieyuan accepts the order, long live my emperor!" Zhu Xieyuan also knelt down on the ground and said respectfully.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said: Zhu Xieyuan, the governor of Sichuan, guarded Sichuan, and inspected the frontiers. The king was transformed into a barbarian land, and he made great achievements. He is a senior official, the right deputy is the censor, and the governor of Liaodong, hereby!" The imperial decree was handed over to Zhu Xieyuan, waiting for Zhu Xieyuan to receive the decree.

Zhu Xieyuan immediately beamed with joy, and left Sichuan by himself, but he did not expect that it was the governor of Liaodong.This is Xiong Tingbi's official position before, and he can show his skills!

"Huaiyuan General Lu Xiangsheng received the decree!" Chen Hong took out the last imperial decree and read it out after unfolding it.

"My minister Lu Xiangsheng accepts the decree, long live my emperor!" Lu Xiangsheng also knelt on the ground, and he is also going to be promoted!But Lu Xiangsheng knew that he would definitely not be like those two people.

"General Lu Xiangsheng of Huaiyuan went deep into Liaodong and made many military exploits. I am very relieved. Now Lu Xiang has been promoted to General Zhaoyong and the right servant of the Ministry of War to assist the Beijing camp!" Chen Hong once again handed over the imperial decree to Lu Xiangsheng, and then bowed and stood to the side.

"Thank you, Lord Lu Xiangsheng, for your grace, long live my emperor!" Lu Xiangsheng quickly knelt down on the ground and said respectfully.

Sun Chengzong on the side breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the imperial decree read out, as if he had lifted a burden and relaxed a lot. (To be continued..)
